Inner wheel wells and brake booster???

I just yanked my old tub to prep the frame and start work on my replacement tub. The newer tub needs inner wheel wells and I plan on in the future upgrading the front to disk brakes. I ordered a 2" body lift and was contiplating dropping the inner fenders down the two inches. If i do this do I still have to angle my brake booster? Which opens up the question of what brake booster do I need to get? I want to run vacuum since I only want front disk and don't plan on running any kind of huge mudders or anything. Just an everyday street truck. I'm also swapping in a 2000 explorer 5.0 with the gt40p heads.

I think I'm seeing I want an astro van master cylinder. Just not sure what years or anything. Then I guess I need an adjustable portioning valve

If you want to run a vacuum booster you will need the angle bracket. It will hit the valve cover without it. Just be careful to get the small dual diaphram booster. Some of the online vendors are selling a kit with a small single diaphram booster and it's not enough. Get the one like they had from the factory.

The buddy at the junkyard owes me a favor. So I figure the booster is it. What donors am I after? Or just any small vacuum booster will do?
